Installed ISAPI and CGI with the IIS role, but they are disabled as seen in the attached image.screenshot of Roles and IIS windows
Scratching my head a bit here.
Just had to enable Execute in the Feature Settings, no longer disabled.

I've created install-shield using Advance Installer. One of the features that my install-shield enabling is IIS.
I'm using this shield on customer's servers to check if required software is installed. If the software is not installed install-shield will install it.
IIS is among those software.
I'm not shure how this IIS enabling is working. When no IIS is present on the machine install-shield enables it flawesly. But when it already enabled what happens then? Does install-shield will pass through without any action or it will enable the basic IIS features (features that would be enabled if the IIS were not existed).
I'm afraid to use this install-shield on customer server (where IIS is already installed) because I don't know what it will do. I'm afraid it will disable some IIS features that will affect the current server working state. I don't want to take any chances, I have to know if the install-shield just skips the IIS installation when it already installed or doing something else.
Thank you.
You should use the predefined support to install Windows Feature Bundles.
Using this support you can easily select which OS feature should be enabled and also set custom conditions. On our YouTube channel you can find examples/tutorials:
in the following example you see exactly how IIS is configured for enabling
here is also a more generic video, with a walkthrough over the built-in support from Advanced Installer for enabling Windows Features

I am trying to learn ColdFusion and have installed the developer edition (CF10) on my Win7 computer and this brings up the localhost administrator page correctly but I have a test helloworld.cfm file in inetpub/wwwroot and when I try & access this with localhost/helloworld.cfm windows opens a dialogue box saying what program should open this .cfm file?
(in IIS Mime type there is none for .cfm & when I tried to add one it didn't work...).
Several posts on the internet say ensure IIS has CGI enabled and ISAPI Extensions
IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility which I have.
I'm not sure what is wrong here-can anyone advise me clearly & simply if I can view and use .cfm in IIS & how?
We know IIS is the problem because your administrator works, so CF is running correctly.
What I do is the following
create a site in IIS, just basic. no setting changes
install coldfusion 10
During install coldfusion will ask me if it has to configure all current IIS sites
if you let it do that, it should all work like a charm.
Did you do it like this?
I would uninstall and re-install as something must have gone wrong connecting IIS to COldFusion
CF10 does not require the IIS 6 compatibility. If you don't need that for any other web technology connections, then remove that. You do need CGI, .Net Extensibility, ASP.NET, ISAPI Extensions and ISAPI Filters. I believe the connector configurator for ColdFusion especially uses the .Net Extensibilty to "wire things up".
I need to do some work on an old ASP Classic site, so I’m trying to host it on my IIS, but when I try load a page I get:
An error occurred on the server when processing the URL. Please contact the system administrator.
If you are the system administrator please click here to find out more about this error.
When I follow the link, it takes me to a Microsoft site and talks about running ASP Classic on IIS 7, but none of the pages help and nothing I found on Google will get it to work. I have all the elements under turn Windows features on and off - IIS - WWW services - app dev features.
This was bugging me earlier today and it turned out I had an error in my script.
This assumes you have installed the ASP/ISAPI extensions via the Control Panel's "Add/Remove Windows Features."
By default, errors will not be sent to the browser. To enable sending errors to the browser, go to the site in your IIS manager. Double click the ASP icon and expand "Debugging Properties." Set "Send Errors to Browser" to True.
I had this same problem and it turns out you need to set application pool to classic .net for it to work.
I have a project which I have upgraded to .Net 4.0, but when I try to access it, I retrieve the following error:
HTTP Error 404.2 - Not Found
The page you requested could not be displayed because of the settings for the list of ISAPI and CGI restrictions on web server.
ErrorCode: 0x800704ec
Handler PageHandlerFactory-ISAPI-4.0_32bit
Do I need to do something extra to the IIS 7 or APP pool, when converting an existing site to a .NET 4.0 site?
Also if I look at ISAPI both 32bit and 64bit of the .Net 4.0 is installed.
In IIS, enable .NET 4.
Here is image:
I take it you're running on IIS6 right now..
Open the IIS manager, and go to the Web Service Extensions area.. You'll be able to enable .NET 4 in there.. All new extensions are disabled by default :)
If you're running on IIS7, .NET might not have registered in IIS.. Then open up an admin command prompt and navigate to the .NET 4 framework folder (C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.{version}). If you're on a 64 bit machine go to the Framework64 folder instead of the Framework folder.
Then run aspnet_regiis -i in there
I had this same issue. Strangely, for me it would run in integrated mode but not in classic mode for .NET 4. After enabling the .NET 4 extensions via the Isapi and Cgi restrictions section in IIS 7, it then began working in both modes. The Isapi and Cgi restrictions section is located at the server level node in IIS manager. This option should not be confused with the Isapi Filters section at the site level.
I am pondering using the Web Platform Installer to quickly set up a dev environment in Windows XP.
Will the IIS installed by the Web Platform Installer still have the 40 connection limit applied?
As far as I know, Web Platform Installer doesn't include IIS. It just asks for your OS installation media and installs IIS from that. However, you might get some benefit from IIS Express.
